Yes, I'm building the outer loop to fit the Go Train and Altenburg to
fit the Metroliner. However there may be some 6 wide cars out there
that people have build that should be able to run the inner loop. I
don't want to unnessisarily exclude a car.
The problem comes down to the curve. I have no problem with the 10 wide
15 high tunnel for the straight part of the tunnel. However a
particularly long car may cut corners more then that, and an engine with
a long nose might interfere with the outside of a curve more this would
allow.
I'm thinking Calum's new high speed train might fit the long nose category.
I'd like to build mochup cars for testing because I need to account for
the curve and switchs.
I guess if all else fails any car that can't make it around the inner
loop can always use the outer loop.

ps. Speaking of switchs can I borrow two switchs?
pps. Did you want to move the switchs under Altenburg to give you more
space for the lower train station?
